Abstract

Cabreca is a community in the Bolivian Andes. Movement and the inhabitants’ mobility are crucial to their lifestyle. This ethnographic paper deals with the ways in which people of Cabreca move around and position themselves with regard to other inhabitants of the wider area. The community lies in a zone called chawpirana (middle/centre zone), an area that lies between the highlands and the valleys. Chawpirana people move throughout their own region in order to benefit from the whole expanse of middle altitude, and move beyond their region to communicate with the people around them.
